As it´s Joni Mitchell´s birthday today, let´s celebrate with a couple of nice live performances from my beloved Canadian soprano. The songs below were recorded at the Second Fret club in Philly back in ´67, when she was still ´a little green´.

Hey, Ramone ~
Lovely! - I wished her Happy Birthday yesterday on my blog as well (hard to believe she's 65... :-)
Thank you for posting these! Is there more? I'm hoping...
or are there more?
Synchronistically, someone from the Joni-list posted the YouTube video of this performance a few days ago - two observations: not only is the tune *very* different than what we're used to (on Blue)... and the sadness in Joni's face, especially at the end when she sings "Kelly Green"...

Yup there´s more Coyotechin, I advise you track down a boot called The Second Fret Sets.
& Susan, thanks for the Youtube link!
This is really great. It's cool to hear such an early version of Little Green. The birth of her daughter had to be fairly fresh on her mind at the time of this performance.
Love the Monopoly story too. Good stuff. Joni is, of course, a favorite!
'Little Green' came into my head this evening and searching for youtube clips I found two .... and your fabulous blog. I will definitely come back later to read more - great stuff.
